Termidor Termite Control

One of the Most Tested Termite Treatments in Knoxville

Before Termidor termite treatment was made available to American homeowners through Termidor certified termite and pest control professionals, it was subject to some of the toughest tests in history. For over six years, grueling USDA-Forest Service ground board and concrete slab trails in four states tested Termidor. At every application rate and every last location, Termidor proved 100% effective in defending against termites.

The active ingredient in Termidor is fipronil and it works quite differently from other termiticide active ingredients. Most termiticides are repellents, which means they keep termites away from a treated area, rather than killing them. These repellant termiticides also kill termites. However, since the termites are repelled when they come in contact or just before actually contacting pyrethroid treated soil, the “killing power” is less dramatic and if anyone took the time to count dead termites, less efficient. Termidor is non-repellent. Termites can’t detect it. Since they don’t know it’s there, they forage freely in a treated area.

Like other leading liquid termiticides used in termite prevention, Termidor is lethal to termites when they ingest it (which they do readily since they don’t know it’s there). But, unlike all other termiticides, Termidor is lethal on contact as well. Once a termite comes into contact with Termidor, they carry it back to the colony on their bodies. Every other termite it contacts will itself become a carrier, contacting and infecting others. This is known as “The Transfer Effect”.

Termidor – 100% Pest Control Results After Ten Years

With Termidor termite treatments, termites are killed, dead. No excuses and a lot less waiting around. Government and other tests in the US and abroad have shown that in 10+ years there has been no break or reduction in Termidor’s effectiveness.

Termidor is a Responsible, Low Dose Termite Treatment

Termidor is effective at very low application rates. Typically, when your pest control professional applies Termidor, the active ingredient fipronil will be just 0.06%. That’s a lot lower than old-fashioned termiticides and less than most insecticides. Termidor also binds to the soil, so there’s no leaching through rainfall or irrigation.

Bottom line, you can count on at least 10 year’s worth of 100% termite protection when you choose Termidor.
